Installation

Hardware Installation

The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard

slot on any compatible system. Push the card all the way in, until it

‘clicks’ and locks into place. To eject the card, simply push the card

further into the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will then be

ejected from the slot.

NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not rmly hold an

ExpressCard/34 card, so a 34mm to 54mm stabilizer bracket may be

necessary (StarTech.com ID: ECBRACKET).

OPTIONAL: This card has an external power connector located on

the side. External power may be required if the FireWire peripheral

draws more power than the ExpressCard slot on the system is able

to provide.

Driver Installation

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008 R2/7/8,

Mac OS X, Linux

No driver installation is required for these operating systems,

as this adapter card is natively supported, so the drivers are

already installed.

Verifying Installation

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/Server 2008 R2/7/8

From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer”

in Vista/7), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management

window, select Device Manager from the left window panel.

Double-click on the “IEEE1394” category and a “VIA” controller device

should be listed without any errors.

Connecting FireWire devices to ExpressCard

To begin using your FireWire peripherals with EC13942A2, simply

insert the FireWire connector provided by the peripheral or attached

cable into one of the FireWire ports provided by the ExpressCard.

Please note that for peripherals requiring lower voltages, EC13942A2

oers built-in power capability. If more power is required, an external

12VDC (1A) power adapter (not included) can be connected to the

power jack on the ExpressCard.
